Marion Bridge

Lennox Community Theatre, 2219 County Road 11, Selby

"Three women in their thirties come 'home' to Cape Breton to be with their dying mother. Each in her own way tries to deal with the painful loneliness of their lives - each is trying to reconcile what they have become with what they thought they wanted out of life and with what they thought their parents wanted for them. Nothing, of course, has turned out exactly the way anyone imagined it would." (From playwrightsguild.ca.) By arrangement with Playwrights Guild of Canada.

Enemies

Lennox Community Theatre, 2219 County Road 11, Selby

Drama. By Richard Linley, with assistance from David Smith and Brandt Zätterberg. Directed by Richard Linley. Produced to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812.

In November 1812, an American naval squadron set sail on Lake Ontario from Sackett's Harbor, New York, determined to intercept the Royal Navy corvette Royal George off the coast of Prince Edward County. During the ensuing chase, the Americans landed a vessel at Ernesttown (modern day Bath), and burned a merchant vessel there to the waterline. Royal George eventually escaped to Kingston with the Americans in hot pursuit. In this fictional account, a young American sailor is knocked overboard at Ernesttown, and finds his way to a modest nearby dwelling. The population has been evacuated, largely, but a few have stayed behind for various reasons, and one of these is the young woman, daughter of a United Empire Loyalist, who lives in the house where the American has taken shelter. Frightened and alone, he reluctantly takes her hostage, but he is more the prisoner than she, for he is marooned in enemy territory, with few prospects for a successful escape. By arrangement with AVABANANA.

Unless otherwise noted, evening performances begin at 8:00pm, and matinée performances, marked '(m)', begin at 2:00pm. '(m/e)' indicates both matinée and evening performances. For more information and to confirm show times, please visit www.lennoxtheatre.ca.
